For those of you interested in magic, pagans, and/or Wicca, a new documentary about Gerald Gardner is soon to be released.

Britain’s Wicca Man, produced by Matchlight, features narration by pagan expert Professor Ronald Hutton and delves into the history of modern pagan witchcraft, Wicca, and Wicca founder Gerald Gardner himself.

From a small forest coven born in a 1940s British nudist colony, Gardner began what’s become one of the fastest growing religions in the world.

He may have looked a little nutty, but apparently a lot of people over the last seventy years have liked his message.

Take a look at the trailer below. I can’t wait to see the whole film!
